Package: isc-dhcp-client Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze3 Severity: important Powering on two computers and a DHCP at the same time, I find sometimes an IP-conflict between the two computers.
I think that this could happen: The first computer uses another DHCP client than dhclient, it asks for an IP and gets 192.168.1.3 by the DHCP server. The second computer uses dhclient, reading the leases file, it successfuly pings the router. So it keeps its 192.168.1.3 IP for example. Why dhclient doesn't ping the computer IP(like it does with the router one) before keeping it without asking the DHCP server? -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages isc-dhcp-client depends on: ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii iproute 20100519-3 networking and traffic control too ii isc-dhcp-common 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze3 common files used by all the isc-d ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib isc-dhcp-client recommends no packages.
